I can’t remember if I had mentioned that the campground we stayed at last night was Blue Earth Campground. Nice place! And the hosts were Sean and Marian. Nice people!

It’s been a pretty good day in the Midwest. We woke up to sunshine. The park we had stayed in last night was kind of a city park and we could hear traffic, but it was still a pretty place. Continue reading

Mom reminded me today that it’s been a while since I’ve written. First of all, we’ve been in the midst of a remodel, and that being so, we haven’t gotten out much. However, I thought you might be interested to see what we’ve been working on.
Mark and I had just had dinner and were talking about what we were going to do before our evening rounds when there was a knock on our door. One of the new Workampers here came to warn us that a severe storm was on its way. Continue reading
Our boss is the greatest! Kathy paid for everyone on staff who wanted to to get trained as a Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA). Mark and I went through the training today at The Clearing in Ellison Bay. But first, a woman from The Clearing gave us a tour of the campus. Continue reading
